The Performing Rights Society, an organisation that collects money from broadcasting on behalf of performers, currently has proposal to slash the per-minute royalty payout for most television broadcasts.

The proposal also includes vastly increasing the royalty payment for any music used during a so-called 'primetime' slot of 6pm until midnight.

In essence, PRS is to make a very few top flight composers (the ones who get most of the primetime) a lot richer than they already are. And would drastically cut all the majority of payments to artists.
